Not sure he is our most valuable trade piece because of his contract. I think Hesley and Gray probably are.

Possibly for Gray, though I think you may be underestimating the trade potential for a 25 HR potential middle of the order bat who can occasionally play catcher (don't think he's an everyday catcher if you want to maximize his bat). 136 OPS+ last season.

I think we can get a lot for Helsley, but not sure a relief pitcher will ever have more trade value than a dependable SP like Gray or an impact bat like Contreras.

Yea if Helsley isn't traded this off season, I'm ready to declare front office malpractice

Gray's contract makes it tough to trade him. $25MM this year and $35MM next year.

Wonder if/when we will find out about the financial implications of this arrangement.

Cardinals own their own their in-territory streaming rights, unlike several other teams who were a part of the Diamond Sports fiasco.

So while surely the Diamond Sports annual payment was reduced significantly for this year, the Cardinals will recoup at least some of that through getting the direct-to-consumer streaming subscription money.
